Are you new to wildlife watching? Do you think Springwatch is a non-battery wrist ’clock’? Or are you a very experienced amateur Attenborough? Whatever your knowledge or expertise, join us in a celebration of all things wild in the Year of Natural Scotland.

Historic Scotland yesterday held the first in a series of themed events which will take place at sites across the country throughout the summer. This year, their famous costumed performers are going ‘on tour’, visiting Blackness, Tantallon, Craignethan and Craigmillar Castles.

A new book written and produced by Historic Scotland is being published today, Friday 28th June 2013 to tie in with the opening of the major Mary Queen of Scots exhibition at the National Museum of Scotland.
